The Klaw 6 (Tyrone) occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 920 metres on a south-facing slope overlooking Chuchi Lake, approximately 6.4 kilometres south-southeast of Lhole Tse Mountain.

Regionally, the area is underlain by undivided volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Chuchi Lake Formation (Takla Group), which have been intruded by quartz monzonitic to monzogranitic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Hogem Plutonic Suite.

Locally, on the Tyrone grid, a hornfelsed siltstone with minor pyrite hosts anomalous gold and silver values.

Another zone of mineralization is reported approximately 1.5 kilometres to the northeast of the Tyrone grid on the former Klaw 4 claim and comprises an amygdaloidal plagioclase porphyry with calcite and epidote amygdule fillings and chalcopyrite.

Work History

In 1987, Noranda Mining and Exploration Inc. acquired the Chuchi B property to cover stream sediment and soil sampling anomalies identified earlier that year. The following year a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling was completed. A sample (86904) from the Tyrone grid assayed 0.420 gram per tonne gold and 13.7 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 18282).

In 1989, Noranda completed a program of rock and silt sampling, geological mapping, a 10.0 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey and a 23.2 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey on the Chuchi B property. A rock sample (108342) from the Tyrone grid assayed 0.170 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 19582).

In 1991. the Klaw group of claims were under option to BP Resources Canada Ltd. who carried out 24.5 line-kilometres of line cutting, 20.6 line-kilometres of induced polarization and resistivity surveys, geological mapping and rock sampling. A sample (101039) from the Klaw 4 claim to the northeast assayed 0.321 per cent copper (Assessment Report 21807).

In 2005, Highridge Resources Inc. staked the area as the Chuc 16 claim of the Chuchi property.
